The fractals my mate got on his R3 were pretty loud. As said didnt shift that much air, but I never use stock fans anyway... (until noctua bring out a case)
...but then I probably wouldnt want a prosthetic arm beige case
fractal has 3 fans available:
OE case fans these are usually
120 - 1000rpm - 33cfm - 10dbA
140- 1000rpm - 35cfm - 12dbA
Silent
120 - 1000rpm - 35cfm - 15dbA
140- 800rpm - 39cfm - 9dbA
R2
120 - 1200rpm - 40cfm - 15dbA
140- 800rpm - 65cfm - 19dbA
the first cases i have had an OEM fan and the later cases
ive had shipped with R2 fans instead of OEM
@ less than 22dbA fractal fans aren't really audible. more wind noise than a mechanical click
or grind. most noises i hear are from the filters are the air is dragged through them, dirt
and all...

Not a problem at all well basic question really is should I go for the corsair
Quiet edition or the performance one please some just tell me.
Basically if I go for performance will they be lound or will they be silent in the case I have

I'd say go for the Performance.
You can always put on a 5v reducer if you find them too loud

Yer every one says that but to tell ya the truth I don't really want to do that if I do get them do u think they will be lound or do u think T will be ok

Well noise is so subjective... It's impossible to answer that question...
I'd probably get the quiet ones, but I have fans as quiet as possible.
It's a bit of a trivial question to make up a 4 page thread tbh

well all i am asking is do u think it is going to be extremely loud or will it be ok

I think the performance edition fans, at 12v will be loud - but so is every fan at 12v
marcus1987
New member
does every fan that is on the mouther bored run at 12v
is there much between the 2 types of fans as in air flow and stuff like that
jamesriley94

They can never give a full 12v - but close to, so imagine like 11.5v...
And it depends on the motherboard. Some will allow you to control the fans from the motherboard - ie, set to 7v for example...
I personally dont use the motherboard headers for fans as it just makes a mess. I run them all off molex - that way you do get the full 12v. You do get an adapter with the corsair fans btw so you can run them at 7v if you do find them too loud

lol o my god i did not no that so with the performance once i will get a volt decrease ..
also if i run 2 fan of a 1 fan controller with it make the fans run at half the speed con-paired to running of 1 of there own
